Photoshop made me do it.

Do you think its "allowed" to so tamper and harrass an image that badly to make it "appealing?"

I never really took note of photoshopped shots but goddamn seeing this one just put fear in my eyes.
(No not on how larger she is, the fact they did that much to her)

Discuss.

not to surprised, I've seen more radical ones. It's the digital era, it was to be expected.

I can understand a manip or something like insert celeb here promoting Geroge Dubywa, but not the complete transformation of a perfectually normal lady into a shopped (and badly shopped mind you, look at the part where her waist becomes nothing, its all smeered!) super model. Its like :v!

I'm sure a company would rather pay some low end dollars for a cheap model and a paintbrush editor vs. a celebrity that they will have to pay a lot more to model.

I don't think i understand your post Sord.

They did not take a picture of Faith Hill and slap it on a thin body, they actually shopped the hell out of the original image to make the end result look like the mag.

Maybe i am not getting what you're saying, but that was my point of the shopping

it cost less to hire a crappy model and shop her than to pay a truly good looking one.

[Sayara]

At the same time, i don't think we need "Good looking" expensive models all the time for things like magazines or stuff. I mean for the sake of that, a good looking model works for like Sports Illustrated Swimsuit shit, but otherwise alot of the content in these mags for normal people. Why not use a normal person to do the modeling anyway?

I don't know what im going with that http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

humans are inherently shallow and drawn to pretty shit?

[Sayara]

That is true i guess. Its too bad, natural beauty is an amazing thing

There needs to be mandatory disclaimer in magazines that all the "photos" are fictional and edited to all crap.

This is exactly why we all have these impossible "beauty standards" in our minds. Once you are aware how fake it is, it gets better, but soceity is not aware at all.

Don't generalize the entire human population.
I like the Original photo better. The photoshop made her all pale n' shit.

[Sayara]

Thats what i am saying. She is frightening looking because her head is still so big vs her itsy bity little body

[Chaosgyro]

About the only thing they got right was the skin tone. I've never been a fan of tanning booths, and call me a little 16th century, but I like my women to be a bit pale. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
